I also listen mainly to vinyl, but I have nearly 1200 cds and 30 sacds. So, when digital spins I prefer to get the best this system can give . Prior to a demo of the Sony SCD-1, I drove a Sony DVD S7000, d/a Timbre Tech, with much satisfaction. The Sony dealer, pushing his product played SACD's exclusively. Although, I was quite impressed with the improved staging, and inner detail with less grain delivered by the sacd's, going over the list of available titles demanded that regular cds also play well. The dealer allowed me a home audition, and within minutes the sale was made. I bought the 777ES ( I have no need for balanced) back in mid-summer, with no regrets. Check out the Sony, preferably in your system.
Is there an SACD that can play cds well?
I've read through the threads and read the Stereophile reviews. They all seem to say that high end SACD units playing SACDs are superior to similar CD units playing cds.
I have a Resolution Audio 55 playing cds into ML380S and ML335 and Dunlavy SCIV. Very, very good. But, no, I want better.
Now help me.
What specific SACD units in YOUR EXPERIENCE will play cds in equal detail and depth to the RA55/ML39/EMC-1?
